Some dance styles are just outrageously stupid but some people are still doing these moves on dance floors.

Moves like The Sprinkler, Window Cleaner, The Mummy and of course The Chicken are still among us.

The guys at Malun TV’s School of Cool show the Top 10 disastrous dance moves.

Can you add more despicable dance moves?

Although unconventional brand Versus, supports unusual thinking (acts) , we cannot help but agree that some of these dance moves should be banned.

A stable of young-gun comedians are gearing up for Splashy Fen.

Booked to do a daily comedy hour at the festival, several of Durban’s top (and rated among SA’s best) comedians will be performing in the Versus tent from Thursday through to Sunday. That’s right, Versus returns to Splashy Fen this year, proving that this unconventional wine brand is the life-blood of the party.

Comedians lined up for the daily comedy hour include Glen Bo, Simmi Areff, Robby Collins, Jem Atkins, Gareth Woods, Little Paul and Neil Green, among others.

Glen Bo has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was a regular on the UK comedy scene before returning home where he tours and performs in theatres, clubs, dingy smoky pubs and at big comedy festivals. He’s an award-winning globe-trotter, leading the comedians into battle. He was born in Mooinooi. It means pretty girl. It’s a real place.

Simmi Areff (from the ECR breakfast team) is a young effervescent Muslim comedian who has opened for John Vlismas. Known for his parody songs, Simmi is young, single and carries a pipe wherever he goes. This is why he is single.

Robby Collins was voted KZN’s ‘Best Newcomer’ of 2008 and is a regular at DSOC, Punchlines! and 99% Zulu shows. He is from Sydenham/Overport and wears his granddad’s hat. He is currently billed to open for Trevor Noah in Joburg.

Gareth Woods hails from the ‘bustling metropolis’ of Klerksdorp. He’s a graduated scientist and trainer lawyer and, within his first year of stand-up, won the 5FM Fresh Drive Comedy Competition and opened for Trevor Noah.

Little Paul has been part of the Durban underground comedy resurgence since it started in 2007. His humour has been described as dry, and is based mostly around personal, cultural and political observations.

Jem Atkins is KZN’s ‘Best Newcomer’ of 2009 and also made it to the third round of SA’s Got Talent on SABC in the same year.

Neil Green is a regular on the ‘Bruin Ou’s’ comedy shows and performs on the DSOC scene.

Dusty Rich is a skilled tattooist and resident of Toti. He brings a degree of grit and self-deprecation, which is steeped in honesty and hilarity. He recently toured to Cape Town, playing the club scene.

The other day I lost a bet with a friend. He said a guy married his pillow and I didn’t believe him. Well here is the proof of this outrageously weird event (and now I owe my friend a bottle of unconventional Versus).

True love can take many forms. In this case, it has taken the form of a Korean man falling in love with, and eventually marrying, a large pillow with a picture of a woman on it.

This guy gave new meaning to pillow talk and will he ever have a pillow fight with his wife?

Lee Jin-gyu fell for his ‘dakimakura’ – a kind of large, huggable pillow from Japan, often with a picture of a popular anime character printed on the side.

In Lee’s case, his beloved pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the ‘magical girl’ anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

Now the 28-year-old otaku (a Japanese term that roughly translates to somewhere between ‘obsessive’ and ‘nerd’) has wed the pillow in a special ceremony, after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest. Their nuptials were eagerly chronicled by the local media.

‘He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,’ said one friend.

‘They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal,’ they added.

The pillow marriage is not the first similarly-themed unusual marriage in recent times – it comes after a Japanese otaku married his virtual girlfriend Nene Anegasaki, a character who only exists in the Nintendo DS game Love Plus, last November.

Versus Brand News

Unconventional wine brand Versus, recently co-sponsored the Southern Ink Xposure  (aka Cape Town Tattoo Convention). Versus Wines, which aligns itself with unusual, fun and interesting events promoted their range of wines at this event.

To add some excitement to the often otherwise dreary library environment, a group of students created a real-life Pacman in their varsity library. Unconventional wine brand, Versus, salutes these students for thinking out of the box.

The silly season is upon us and someone , in moment of madness will suggest a karaoke.

If you are caught in this situation …one tip, don’t sing Love Hurts.

The reason is because the most difficult karaoke-standard song i.e. definitely can find in any karaoke bar is, IMHO, Nazareth’s Love Hurts… at maximum key. Yep, it is more difficult than working out which home insurance quote to go for.

Some people’s favourite music games is trying to sing this at the highest key possible on the karaoke machine, with usually hilarious results, typically at the point the words say “but they’re not foolin’ me”:

Sure, it’s important to get your message out to everyone, but make sure you do a sense check before sending, otherwise you can be spreading some Christmas cheer for the wrong reasons.

Here is an example of a wrong Christmas message

This cartoon shows that men and women think differently

Useless facts are sometimes more interesting than useful facts. For instance, people spend about two weeks of their lives at traffic lights and a snail can sleep for three years. This is more interesting than most of the stories on the news last night. Do you agree?

More useless info:

• - People spend about two weeks of their lives at traffic lights!

• - In comic strips, the person on the left always speaks first.
• - A snail can sleep for three years.
• - In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all of the world’s nuclear weapons combined.

• - Walt Disney was afraid of mice.
• - Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.
• - You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television

Sometime around the turn of this century, guys began buzzing over a proposed showdown between the two biggest icons in comic book history

This debate has drawn a lot of intrest and a website has been created for this debate.

Some comments include

#1: The batman would lose very badly against superman un less ,batman has a piece of kyptonite of planet kypton on hand to negate the powers of superman

#2: Batman would beat Superman every time! The greatest superpower is always intelligence. Batman has beaten Superman on every occasion where they’ve met as adversaries. Superman, from the Lords of Justice, took a serious beat-down from Batman

#3: Superman would totally win! Why? He would win because he can face any challenge or anyone at anytime! He has all the right powers a super hero need while Batman only has a few gadgets and can’t really “fly” at all he may have that hot car but Superman could definitely catch in one “whoosh” of his cape.

My call is that it will be the bat by a whisker. Both guys will be pretty knocked up but Lex will give the bat some kryptonite and that will be the final straw.

South African vintners in the Stellenbosch area, which primarily produce Pinotage, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night.

What’s not to like about Japan? What’s not to like about the fascinating countries of China, Thailand and South Korea? Not only do these places offer some of the best eats, treats and cultural delights on the globe, but they’ve devoted centuries to the ancient art of KICKING ASS WITHOUT WEAPONS.

Another interesting thing about the Far East is that many people do not speak much English. But with English being the international language of commerce and all, they have to try anyway. Hence we have Engrish, the colourful language you get when dodgy translation and signage collide.
